I think it's quite similar to the Sanchez' case. Auba was likely going somewhere else in the summer anyway, so Dortmund sold him now to get at least some compensation. Nice bargain for Arsenal of course.

So Dortmund would have still gotten some compensation.

Well... But it was well known, that Auba wasnt really welcome in Dortmund anymore. The fans wanted to see him go, the club got tired of him, and coach and players also did not speak very well of him lately.... Getting 63M for that.... good enough.
And there are still serious doubts, if he will really be able to perform elsewhere...

Doubt Man City can win every game till then but if they did the entire world would be watching.

I never would have expected to see a Barça whose better line is the defense. Umtiti, Piqué, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are a perfect defense right now. Valverde is an awesome coach and he has improved the defensive tasks too. Umtiti is just unreal, he never makes an error. It is fun, because with Pep it was a midfield team and with Luis Enrique it was a forward team.

Indeed he has. Who would have thought that the first keeper to challenge Manuel Neuer for the title of world's best goalie would be another german.

De Gea is better than Ter Stegen.
Also, the next big gk is probably Lafont

Im happy that Chelsea reserves won last night in Germany, also Vitesse Chelsea youth also won with 2 goals from Chelsea players :D

Not really opposed to this, but introducing it during a world cup year when the break is extra short seems kinda overkill.

Burnley - City 1-1 in case somebody missed the result.
